MILLION MOON MARCH

What Amtrak Passengers Did Not See on Saturday

Back in 2006, I wrote about one of Orange County's few original cultural events -- the annual Mooning Amtrak event -- at which attendees moon the trains that pass by the Mugs Away Saloon in Laguna Niguel.

Well much to my surprise, this past weekend, the cops shut down the event!

To add to the drama, the OC Sheriff's Department didn't just send in a few officers, but 50 five-0's! And to provide the icing on the cake of absurdity, they even flew in police choppers!

Are you getting that? Ghetto birds ... in South Orange County! Visible from my backyard!
